They say shoes and watches make the man, but the reality is, a wallet speaks volumes of your character. As a basic part of any man’s wardrobe, a decent wallet is a wise investment. A wallet that doesn’t cost more than the cash it holds, is a jackpot. So imagine my delight when information about the newly launched Orchill wallets came in my inbox.

We’ve reviewed various leather goods for men here, but Orchill’s leather wallets are for the everyday man. In the current economic climate, it only makes sense to spend wisely, and Orchill fits this thinking. The Australian-based brand offers leather accessories that combine traditional craftsmanship with a cheeky, contemporary twist.

Using suede and leathers that are designed to wear and get more character with age and use, Orchill wallets are practical as they are aptly-named. For example, there’s the AVI Bi-Fold wallet – a classic black wallet with miniature hole patterns and a pop of colour that hints at sartorial elegance.

Then there’s the slimmer Captain Clip that pairs functionality with style – an appropriate wallet for today’s tighter fitting pants.

The Corinthian Magic wallet boast aged leather with cotton straps to keep cash and cards close – great for a night out if you don’t want your wallet sticking out.

Orchill wallets are reasonably priced and range from $39.95 to $79.95. Get more information here.
